I did on pick up order and it was on time. The food was really good and you can really taste the spices on the food. read more

I read about good reviews about this restaurant. So I gave it a try. And it is true! The food was very good. I ordered chicken biryani and papadam to go. The service was on time and it was just one of the best biryanis I've had. Looking forward to dine in next time. read more

This is a small place, but the food is really good. My non vegetarians friends really like the sheek kabab from this place. The garlic nan, bhaigan barta tastes well. Dal is another speciality to be tried. Vegetable biriyani and samosa are good too. Food worth the money. Satisfied. read more

AMAZING! Ordered via Postmates and everything came piping hot and fresh! Had the following: garlic naan - fluffy and the garlic wasn't overpowering. So yummy! chicken tikka masala - had it medium spicy and it was SPOT on and delicious! The chicken was skinless, boneless and fresh (not frozen-thawed-frozen-thawed and cooked again which leads to spongy chicken I've had from some other spots) samosas - perfectly crispy, not greasy, 2 come in one order, they are on the spicier side but order a side of raita if you want to cool down the spice a bit. Curry Leaf is def my go-to place...thanks for amazing meal! read more

Curry leaf is a order at the cashier, seat yourself, and serve yourself type of spot. They have an area towards the back with utensils, extra plates, chutneys, and all else that you'll need for your meal. We ended up ordering paneer tikka masala, onion naan, and samosas for about $15.50 before tax and tip. Awesome value for awesome food! I love finding affordable places like this, especially considering this is in San Francisco. The food was outstanding. The tikka masala was perfectly spicy and creamy. It came with about ten pieces of paneer. The onion naan was fresh. The samosas came with a small side garbanzo beans, a pleasant addition. There's tons of free 2 hour parking in the area and we had no trouble finding a spot. We will definitely be coming back. read more

I've been coming here for years (since opening) and I can't believe I have never reviewed my absolute FAVORITE Indian restaurant before. There is nothing that is blah here, everything and I mean EVERYTHING is deeelicious! It sets my gold standard for Indian cuisine. I oftentimes find myself comparing other Indian restaurant food with Curry Leaf. There is no one I have recommended this place to that didn't love the food and/or made it their favorite as well. read more

#Masala Tea : tasted less likely to authentic Indian masala tea, but it was good as per available options. # vegetable Pakora : tasted good as authentic spicy pakoras read more

Curry Leaf - Indian Near Me - San Francisco, California

Worst food I ever had in my life Recently I tried malai kofta and trust me tht was the most pathetic curry I ever had I would never recommend to spend a penny here read more

Their Curry variety is very good, creamy and buttery when they need to be. I love this place!

I am sorry. I ordered food online. Yelp said the order was placed- I walked over and they told me, "sorry didn't get the order". I asked, "is my card gonna be charged?" Don't know they said. I showed him the email, that my order had been placed. "sorry I didn't except that order" Don't go here. This is how they treat their regulars read more

Food was great, the naan espicially was really fresh tasting and done perfectly. I had the paneer tikka masala which was also really good. This is probably a great spot for take out. I went to eat in the restaurant and have never been to a place that didn't have any sort of server or helped their diners less. You really have to get your own utensils, pickup your own food, and anything else you might want or need. It wasn't bad, but I'll try somewhere else next. read more

Do You Value Your Life? On November 19, 2020, on a day with Covid-19 news in the US of -- -- 250,000+ people dead from the disease -- a daily record of 1,400+ dead people -- about one person's death every minute -- the biggest one-day gain, 185,000+ new people infected -- an all-time high of 80,000 people hospitalized -- on the cusp of deaths set to reach between 276,000 and 298,000 people in December ...at the end of my meal at Curry Leaf on that day, their employee came over to my table and proceeded to clear it with his mask not covering his nose, two feet away from me. I asked him, "You're not going to wear your mask over your nose?". He responded, "No". I told him that he was required to by law, and he ignored me. I asked him two more times to cover his nose while he spent more time clearing the table, two feet away from me, and he ignored me. When I complained to the manager that this employee had decided that he would disobey mandated Covid-19 precautions, and decided he would potentially endanger my health, he said, "sorry", with the demeanor of someone who was shrugging his shoulders. When I asked him whether he would be taking any kind of disciplinary action, the manager said that he wouldn't be, because this employee is "a good worker". read more

Long weekend and first time ever in San Francisco. Fancied some Indian food and this was the nearest and highest rated - as usual Yelp reviewers did not let me down. Food was excellent and cooked to order and, despite it being a negative at the time, the fact that it was alcohol free helped me survive the evening! Very much a hole in the wall but priced accordingly and I'll definitely return next time in this brilliant city read more

Biryani and chicken masala is just outstanding. It's almost in front of a library and a kids park. You can also sit outside and enjoy the cable cars and weather. It's very close to authentic Pakistani food unlike other Indian restaurants in the Bay Area where non-indian chefs are trying to make Indian food. Highly recommended if you want authentic south asian taste. read more

Okay this is my new favorite spot for Indian food in the Bay Area period! Very very authentic.. This is Food Gods level cooking. Prices are great as well. Everything is amazing and when you pick up your food the smell inside the restaurant is on another level of wowww what the F are they doing in here. My dog wakes up licking her lips the smell is that serious lol.. Why did it take me so long to find this place. Definitely in my weekly rotation.. One word Karahi! read more

Lamb Vindaloo is great but could be spicy for some. Large portions of rice and naan.

Curry Leaf has become one of our neighborhood favorites. It's consistently delicious, and the staff is super quick and friendly. Our favorites have been the Paneer Tikka Masala and the Vegetable Biryani (the garlic nan too) read more

When you get a bad review, you hate the writer. It's very painful; whoever says the opposite lies. It's humiliating. Sometimes it comes from an honest place, but most times, it comes from a desire to trash someone. I order food for pick up and then i got the left over food. Shame to the restaurant read more

I'm an out-of-towner and tried this place because of the good reviews. Overall, it was disappointing. Ordered the chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, rice, and a veggie dish with peas and potatoes. The tikka masala was spicy with a strong tomato base, and lacking in depth of flavor. Naan was light and probably the best part of the meal. So much better Indian food out there. read more

It's my neighborhood go-to for authentic Indian food. Staff is courteous and seems to be a family. Love the tandoori chicken and chicken masala, chai tea (free of you dine at restaurant) is always excellent too. read more

I did the mistake of stopping by here for dinner in Mar 22 as I found myself in the area and hungry. Poor planning on my part. Unlike my previous meal here, no loose motion this time upon eating the meal but my stomach did hurt enough to notice. The cashier was extremely rude and disparaging when I asked him a question about the goat curry. Dude, I know you work long hours etc and it can be irritating. I however am not responsible for that, so spare me your outburst. read more

My favorite place for authentic Indian/Pakistani cuisine. My favorites are: Nihari Chicken tikka Seekh kebab Samosas And the list can go on and on. They are the best in San Francisco. Efficient and friendly customer service. I never had to wait long for my order. I would highly recommend this place. read more

I don't know where to start! Came across this place and I knew it had to try it! The owner of the place was very nice and had amazing suggestions that made us feel at home when ordering. The taste and freshness of the food was beyond our expectations. I'd give this place 6 stars if I could. We will definitely be back and I would recommend this place to anyone that is looking for authentic Indian food when in San Francisco! read more

Very good but on the spicy side. Everything is À la cart. One order of rice is more than enough for 2, maybe even 3 people.

Very reasonably priced Indian spot off of Columbus. Order at the counter and then grab a table if you can find a spot (not a ton of tables when it's busy). Tikka Masala and Karahi chicken were great. Rice plates are huge. Our group of guys were stoked! Definitely recommend! read more

Curry Leaf offered some of the best Indian food I've ever had the pleasure of eating, though admittedly the selection in Reno is limited. I ordered some food to go and had to wait outside for a bit as they were full of customers inside. They were very polite and helpful when placing my order and even warned me that one of my choices is very spicy (which for most other white guys I know, that is probably a smart thing to do). They were even kind enough to check up on me a few times to see if I needed anything while I waited. The only complaint I had was that the food didn't travel very well, and that mostly is due to the four blocks I had to walk back to my hotel. If I revisit the neighborhood, I will drag my wife back so we can sit and eat in the restaurant instead. Keep up the great work! EDIT: As requested, here's what we order; Nihari (the spicy house special that I've never had anywhere else), palak paneer, vegetable samosas, and some cherry naan that was a special not normally on the menu (it made a great dessert without being too sweet). read more

One of my fav Indian cuisine places in sf great flavors never disappointed favorite dishes would be Karahi Chicken or Keema Aloo try one won't be disappointed a bit spicy but the flavors are good with vegetable biryani and some garlic nan great lunch or dinner spot been here 3 times and never disappointed and must try there green sauce gives my rice extra flavor read more

Every time we are in SF, me and my son stop by here to eat our Dinner. Food is incredible and yet affordable. Manager Vinod is kind and friendly. Simple decoration but clean and good ambiance. read more

We came with a good friend to this place and he ordered about 10 different dishes... everything was amazing! I came back alone for lunch today and again the food was exceptionally good. read more

I lived super close by for years and consistently come to this place. The people who work there are super kind and never mess up on my order. Great tasting indian/pak food with good vibes. read more

Incredible place! Highly recommended. Everything flavorful and fresh. Try tandoori chicken with some garlic naan!

No more Indian cooks. Food quality took a nose dive. I doubt this will get fixed so I'm done. Bummer. Was a fav spot.

This is hands down the best Indian food I've ever had. The naan here is so delicious and fresh. The chicken tikka masala, chicken choley, the ground chicken with spinach and the eggplant dish is amazing. Even when you're full you will keep eating. It's that good. It's a sit down restaurant but mostly self serve where you get your own plates, water and utensils. It's not high end dining but the place is clean and the bathroom isn't scary so that's a huge plus. read more

Stopped here for a quick bite before a comedy show next door. The wrap I ordered was absolutely fantastic! Very authentic food and tasted really good too. You order food first and then find a spot to sit. The food arrived pretty quickly and service was reasonably good. The ambience is just alright, nothing fancy. The food though, is warm and fresh and delicious. Would definitely return if I am in the area and craving Indian. read more

Best Indian place I've been so far, not too far from the famous Lombard Street! We ordered some pakora, lamp chops, chicken curry and basmati rice and got mango lassi : Everything is home made, all the products are very fresh and they bring you the food as soon as it is cooked. The menu is not that huge but everything is amazing. It is a self service type of place, where you grab your plates, silverware, water etc...it's very reasonable price wise - This place is the BOMB, I totally recommend !!! read more

Great small location if you're in the neighborhood. This was my first visit to San Francisco and a local friend encouraged me to venture out with them for a quick dinner. The prices were great. We both shared four dishes and sides and paid about $35 in total. I'm not the biggest Indian food enthusiasts. I'm pretty weak when it comes to spicy foods. But, I could not stop myself from eating the samosas! They were filled with so much flavor. Yes, they were not anywhere near mild- but I was able to indulge and I think my tolerance is very low. The rice dishes were excellent as well. If you were considering becoming a vegetarian - this place might be your heaven. They offer so many meatless options which was great for my friend. Highly recommend and will definitely return when I revisit the city. read more

Prompt service , good food, clean restaurant. Only the restroom cleanliness bothers me with almost all Indian restaurants and yes it's "city" so get ready to spend some time looking for parking. Anyways Chicken boti Kabob and lamb curry is our favorite with naan. Try it out if you are around. It's so good that we don't mind driving from Santa Clara to eat here. read more

One of the best Indian restaurants I've ever been to. I was visiting the area and came here for lunch with friends. We were all very pleased with the variety on the menu, including vegetarian options. HINT: Highly recommend the Saag Chicken and Naan read more

Must try: Mutton Nihari. An amazing dish of lamb sever with delicious Sause on top, cooked in great spices, mouth watering. A naan would be the best along with it. The place is a bit small and might a bit of wait time outside, but not worth the wait. The only indian restaurant on Columbus avenue. Great work read more
